Report Description

Automated breast ultrasound system is used to obtain three dimensional (3D) images for breast cancer detection in women with dense breast tissue, using a transducer that scans the whole breast. An automated breast ultrasound system is a user-friendly system which consist intelligent imaging algorithms, touchscreen, transducer shaped for a woman’s anatomy, automated compression for patient comfort which provide efficient reading and analysis. Automated breast ultrasound system is used as a complementary method for assessing mammography or clinically-detected breast cancers in dense tissues. Automated breast ultrasound examination offers benefits such as less turnaround time, 3D images for detection and coronal view, among others ensuring improved diagnostic confidence.

According to Future Market Insights, in terms of value, the global automated breast ultrasound system market is anticipated to be valued at US$ 212.8 Mn by end of 2027 from a value of US$ 110.3 in 2017, expanding at over 6.8% value CAGR throughout the forecast period.
